I'd like to draw your attention to a summer school in analysis we are holding at Northwestern this summer. It's a 3 week program starting on July 24, 2017. The theme
is PDE, and there will be topics covered that should be of interest to any future/current researcher in dynamics! (In fact, I'll be giving a general-audience talk about the Mandelbrot set in the first week.)

The first week of the program is aimed at advanced undergraduates, especially those who will enter graduate school in the Fall. The second week is intended for beginning
graduate students, and the third week for advanced graduate students and postdocs.

Applications are now being accepted for the 6th Pingree Park Dynamical Systems Workshop, July 17th-20th, 2017. (See instructions below.) The focus will be on topological dynamics and ergodic theory, with a particular emphasis on symbolic dynamics. We will have three minicourses given by Emmanuel Jeandel (University of Lorraine), Anthony Quas (University of Victoria), and Ayse Sahin (Wright State University), as well as assorted shorter talks. More information can be found at the conference webpage at http://math.du.edu/~rpavlov/Pingree2017/

Funding comes from NSF grant DMS-1700430 and the University of Denver. Local costs for participants will be covered - transportation from the University of Denver to Pingree Park on July 16th, transportation from Pingree Park to Denver International Airport on July 21th, and room and board at Pingree Park. Some limited amount of funding is available to support travel; graduate students and early-career mathematicians will receive top priority for funding.

To apply, please send the following information to Nic Ormes (normes@du.edu):

1. A current CV with publication list

2. Whether you would be interested in speaking

3. Whether or not you would request travel funding from us

If you are a graduate student and don't have a CV, you can omit this, but make sure to include your name, institution, and Ph.D. advisor.

Due to the limited space at the facility, the number of participants will be limited to 36. Applications must be submitted by FEBRUARY 10, 2017 to receive full consideration, though they may be sent at any time. We hope to start selecting participants shortly thereafter.

In the last 25 years, the body of research about smooth dynamical systems beyond the uniformly hyperbolic setting has grown substantially and at a rapid pace. Every 2-3 years since 2001, a workshop has been held to disseminate new results, establish connections between researchers, and train new generations of early career mathematicians. Carefully chosen mini-courses and a small number of invited talks allow ample time for informal collaboration. Previous workshops have been held in Evanston, 2001, Buzios, 2003, Chicago, 2006, Beijing, 2009, Luminy, 2011, Bedlewo, 2013, and Olmue, 2015.

A conference on dynamical systems in the memory of Jean-Christophe Yoccoz will be held at Paris (Collège de France) from may 29th to 31st 2017.
It will be followed by a (large audience) tribute on June 1st.

Additional informations are available athttp://dynamique2017.math.cnrs.fr/
Due to the limited size of the conference room, we kindly ask you to register as soon as possible.

Partial funding support will be possible. The applications should be made on the registration form.

This program concerns the recent developments in Complex Analysis and its Applications. Among a very large choice of topics, we will focus on those related to Pluripotential Theory.

The Pluripotential Theory, a branch of Complex Analysis, was founded in the ’50s by Lelong and Oka. It became a very important and powerful tool with connections with many mathematical theories: Complex Analysis, Complex Differential Geometry, Complex Algebraic Geometry, Dynamics, Foliations and also in Mathematical Physics. The aim of this program is to bring together experts who are working in these topics with interest in pluripotential theory. It will give them an opportunity to learn the recent results and to share their new ideas.

Beside informal discussions and seminars, we will organize a week of mini courses (accessible to PhD students, young researchers and non-experts) and also a one week conference. We would like to emphasize the following research directions:

With last year being an exception, we resume the tradition of a yearly workhop and Ph.D.-course in holomorphic dynamics held at the Søminestationen in Holbæk Denmark. The theme of the workshop is Geometry of Julia sets in one or more complex variables, and it will be held September 29. to October 2. 2016.

Monday and Tuesday (8/15 and 8/16) are dedicated to learning talks BY AND FOR grad students and postdocs. We will provide those who would like to speak with a list of possible topics and appropriate material for learning the topics.

Wednesday (8/17) will have mini-courses by experts in the three fields, meant for everyone, including established researchers in each of the three fields.

Thursday and Friday (8/18 and 8/19) are dedicated to research talks, which are still meant to be accessible to people in all three areas.

The school is expected to have a capacity of 60 participants, and we are at this time trying to secure a grant to fund travel expenses from the US in hopes that at least 20 of the participants come from the US on fully-funded tickets. All local expenses at CIRM are covered by CIRM itself and European grants.

The centrepiece of this school are 5 courses by mathematicians at the very forefront of research in topics within this realm. These courses will on one hand provide a foundation for students starting research on related topics, and on the other hand will provide a boost and guidance to those students (and post-doctoral researchers) already at work in this area or a related one. They are matched to complement each other in order to provide a broad picture of the research landscape and the connections between various parts of it---their range of expertise is quite distinct but also includes substantial overlaps. The lecturers have been chosen with attention to not only their expertise but also their ability and inclination to mentor students.

The workshop will focus on the interplay between dynamical systems and arithmetic, and in particular on the study of arithmetic algorithms of significance in dynamics and geometry. Since the discovery of a relation between the continued fraction algorithm and the geodesic flow on the modular surface, a vast field of research has developed whose main goal is to understand the dynamics of geometric flows in terms of discrete arithmetic algorithms. Of particular importance in this picture are interval exchange transformations, which code the Teichmuller geodesic flow. In the workshop, we will discuss recent developments in the metric theory of continued fractions and their various generalizations (one- and multidimensional), as well as interval exchange maps and their applications to Teichmuller theory.

The Second Palis-Balzan International Symposium on Dynamical Systems is a part of Project Palis-Balzan – Dynamical Systems, Chaotic Behaviour-Uncertainty, sponsored by the Balzan Foundation, from the prestigious award conferred to Jacob Palis (and IMPA) by the Balzan Foundation in 2010 (with previous winners [in Mathematics category] including A. Kolmogorov, E. Bombieri, J.-P. Serre, A. Borel, M. Gromov and P. Deligne). This project is mainly coordinated by Jacob Palis and Jean-Christophe Yoccoz, and the organizing committee of the Second Palis-Balzan symposium consists of S. Crovisier, J. Palis, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz and myself.

This a reminder that the periods for registration with reduced fee and applications for financial support end in 5 days (October 14, 2012). If you are interested in participating in the school and/or applying for financial
support, please register as soon as possible.

This conference will be the first in what we expect to become a biennial series emphasizing research programs in dynamical systems worldwide and training of doctoral students and young researchers. These two aspects were the hallmark of the work of Prof. Jack Hale, and it is in acknowledgment of his influential role in the development of dynamical systems and its applications that we are proud to dedicate this first conference to the memory of Jack Hale.

There are several pending funding applications to support graduate students and junior faculty.

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is organizing an Advanced School and Workshop in Real and Complex Dynamics, to be held from 20 to 31 May 2013, in Trieste, Italy. It will be directed by M. Lyubich (Stony Brook), J. Smillie (Cornell), S. van Strien (Imperial College) and S.Luzzatto (ICTP).

NATURE AND PURPOSE
Dynamical Systems is a very broad field with many applications. This activity will focus on some advanced topics in dynamics and so will be suitable for mathematicians who have a strong background and are ambitious and interested in developing their research in dynamical systems in a solid and rigorous direction.

The first week of the activity is devoted to a school giving an overview of current research topics in real and complex dynamics. Four intensive courses will be given.

This workshop provides an introduction to complex and non-Archimedean dynamics in one variable via lecture series by the speakers below. The workshop will begin on Friday, December 7, 2012 in the afternoon and end on
Sunday, December 9 in the early afternoon.

Poster session:
We would like to give other participants a chance to present their work in poster form during the break (tentatively 4-5:30) on Saturday afternoon. Please contact one of the organizers if you'd like to contribute a poster.

Registration:
In order to help us estimate the number of participants, please fill in these three blanks if you intend to come.

Support:
There will be travel support from the NSF and other sources. We especially encourage younger attendees to apply. Support requests received by September 24 will receive a response by Oct 1. Requests that come later will be
considered and dealt with after the meeting.

The 23rd Fall meeting of the Workshop in Dynamical Systems and Related Topics will take place on October 11 - 14, 2012. All lectures will be at the Mathematics Department (114 McAllister Building) at the Penn State University Park campus.

This workshop has been hosted each fall since 1991 by Penn State University and each spring since 1992 by the University of Maryland, and is jointly sponsored by the two institutions. The basic funding of the workshop is provided by an NSF grant. Additional funding for this meeting, is provided by the Center for Dynamics and Geometry at Penn State.

The deadline for registration is September 15, 2012. Also, the period of registration with reduced fee ends in July 15, 2012.

Unfortunately we only will be able to accept a limited number of participants due to lecture room capacity.

All the participants are invited to submit an abstract proposal for a talk (25 minutes plus questions) or a poster. Due to the fact that there are no parallel sessions there are just few slots for talks. To be able to have a final list of speakers as soon as possible we need to close the period for abstracts submission on April 30, 2012.

All abstracts that cannot be accepted for a talk will be automatically considered for the posters sessions, unless explicitly stated by the author.

The conference is organized by the Dynamical Systems Group at the University of Oviedo.The aim is to bring together a broad group of scientists working in the field of dynamical systems on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of thedeath of Henri Poincarщ.

All topics related with dynamical systems are considered but focusing on local and global bifurcations in discrete andcontinuous dynamical systems, planar vector fields and celestial mechanics.
Applications to real-world problems will be highlighted. The conference will promote the diffusion of recent developments and future perspectives.

There will be ten keynote speakers, sixty-four 30-minutes contributed talks in two parallel sessions and also two poster sessions. Plenary speakers are experts chosen from different areas of Dynamical Systems.

The aim of the workshop is to review progress and potential topics ripe for cross fertilization and development in the areas of probabilistic dynamics, network dynamics and hybrid dynamic systems. Participants include a core of experts in the modern statistical theory of dynamical systems complemented by experts in specific areas in dynamics and applications (heteroclinic phenomena, cycling chaos, adaptive networks, control, spatially exptnded systems, and piecewise smooth dynamics).

A priority of the workshop is to involve graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty interested in dynamics and applications. We anticipate being able to fund travel and accommodation for members of this group (see under support below and note that we expect to know the funding situation in the very near future; we strongly recommend applying now for support).

The workshop will take place at the Hilton, Houston Medical Center. So as to encourage interactions between participants, there will be no parallel sessions and talks will be structured so as to give ample time for discussion (see also under accommodation below).

This is the first announcement for the conference. People interested should send a mail at conference.mather70 AT ens-lyon.fr to receive the second announcement which will give a link for registration on the web page. We can support some local expenses for some people (mainly room and lunch), however if participants can use their own funds we will be able to support more people. We apologize for multiple copies sent to the same person. Please advertise widely around you.

To use this interaction for designing new mathematical tools that can aid in the progress in holomorphic dynamics, especially in understanding and building models of multi-dimensional parameter spaces.

To involve graduate students and younger researchers into discussions with more senior mathematicians. This interaction will be beneficial for their scientific growth, and will inject new fresh ideas into the field.

To celebrate John Milnor's 80th birthday: his influence on the field of holomorphic dynamics cannot be overestimated.

The relation with physics will also be emphasized.

Conference topics will include: Weil-Petersson geometry and other metric structures; mapping class groups and their representation theory; rigidity theory; infinite-dimensional Teichmuller spaces; relations with dynamical systems; relations with number theory and probability theory; invatiants of 3- and 4-manifolds; moduli spaces of flat connections; cluster algebras and quantization. In addition to specialized talks, there will be several survey talks given by leading experts in the field. Young researchers are particularly encouraged to participate, and graduate students in the field are also welcome.

A good number of grants are available for young researchers to cover the conference fee and possibly part of the travel costs. Grant requests should be made by ticking appropriate field(s) in the paragraph "Grant application" of the application form http://www2.esf.org/asp/esfrcaf.asp?confcode=321&meetno=1

Nipissing University will offer a Workshop on Recent Advances in Topological and Measure-Theoretic Methods in Dynamical Systems in order to bring researchers and students in these areas together for a five-day series of workshops. The workshops will be jointly supported by the National Science Foundation (funding recommended, but final approval pending) and the Fields Institute, and will be held at Nipissing~Rs pleasant campus in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, May 17-21, 2010.

Over the last 30 years, there have been many developments that have increased the interaction among topology, measure theory, and dynamical systems. Pending NSF support will be used for at least 10 US-based students and recent PhDs to attend the workshops. The workshops will provide the opportunity for recently trained professional mathematicians and students to prepare for research in areas in which current developments are moving rapidly at the intersection point of topology, measure theory, and dynamics. Major speakers with international reputations have been selected who are active in these research areas. Please see the website below:

This workshop on the modern frontiers of Dynamical Systems and Number Theory is the first EU-Young and Mobile Workshop. It is a joint initiative of the European Research Councils, and will provide travel support for a limited number of young European researchers. The sponsors so far are the Dutch, German, Italian, Russian and UK councils. The deadline for applications is 31 January 2010.

Participation:
The idea of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft is to learn by giving one of the lectures in the program.
If you intend to participate, please send your full name and full postal address totabachni@math.psu andtroubetz@iml.univ-mrs.fr
by February 21, 2010.

The Arbeitsgemeinschaft will take place at Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, Lorenzenhof, 77709 Oberwolfach-Walke, Germany. The institute offers accomodation free of charge to the participants. Travel expenses cannot be covered. Further information will be given to the participants after the deadline.

The plan is to bring together people working on different aspects of the dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. All those interested in this area are encouraged to register. Accommodation for those connected with the CODY Network will be covered by University of Warwick node.

The school is targeted at the advanced graduate students, with a background in Hamiltonian systems.

There will be four courses of 3-4 hours each, listed in alphabetical order:

First course is by Jacques Fejoz:
Periodic and quasiperiodic motions in the N body problem.

This class is devoted to KAM theory to the N body problem and related questions.

Second course is by Mark Levi
Collision and choreographies

This class is devoted to variational principles and its application to find break orbits (Seifert's), Stormer's problem. Possible applications of Gromov's non--squeezing theorem in celestial mechanics and optics.

This class is devoted to discussion of Open questions, including ``the Oldest Question''. Variational methods and the figure eight. These ideas could be applicable to some designer orbits. Discussion of McGehee blow-up, some of Moeckel's results, Albouy coordinates along with hyperbolic pants will be given.

Fourth course is by Ke Zhang and Jinxin Xue.
Averaging and long time stability for the N body problem.

This class is devoted to applicability of averaging to the N body problem. Part of the class will be devoted to Treschev's method of continuous averaging.

The conference is funded by NSF and we can cover lodging of participants. Some assistance with travel expenses of Ph.D students can be provided.

The school will focus on the study of periodic approximations as a tool to understand the ergodic properties of deterministic dynamical systems, and as a method of construction of examples (and counter-examples) of ergodic behavior, especially in dynamics related to quasi-periodic motion, such as perturbations of completely integrable systems, KAM theory, Arnol'd diffusion theory, quasi-periodic cocycles, Schrodinger equation, 1-dimensional complex dynamics around elliptic fixed points, etc.

The school will be aimed at students and young researchers and its goal is to provide them with the state of the art ideas and techniques of the included topics.

and mention whether they will need financial support. It is important to note that the deadline for registrations asking for financial support is December 1st 2009, while registration without financial support requested is open until December 15th.

The scope of the conference will be wide, but it will emphasize specific problems in dynamical systems, smooth ergodic theory, and related topics, including differential geometry, group theory and number theory, to name a few, that have seen much progress, but where significant problems vital to the field remain open. Specific examples are the Katok entropy rigidity conjecture for geodesic flows of negatively curved manifolds, the Boltzmann ergodic hypothesis, Liouvillean phenomena, the construction of metrics with ergodic geodesic flow, smooth rigidity of actions of abelian groups of higher rank. We will honor Anatole Katok on the occasion of his 65th

The conference will act as a catalyst for research in mathematics and its applications, providing a venue for established scholars to interact - not only with each other, but also with the junior scholars that will play an essential role now and in the years to come. Accordingly, there will be an emphasis on involving young mathematicians in dynamical systems.

Limited support for participants is expected to be available. Recent recipients of doctoral degrees, women, and members of traditionally underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

We shall try to follow the tradition of the conference on a similar subject held in Luminy in 2003. In particular, we are planning to have four one-hour talks a day: two talks in the morning (at 10:00 and at 11:15) and two talks in the afternoon (16:00 and 17:15) keeping Thursday afternoon free.

We hope that a schedule of four one-hour lectures a day would leave enough time for direct contacts and discussions and for exploring the beauty of the natural park of Luminy, of its mountains, and of its famous calanques (Mediterranean fjords).

A short school (Thursday-Friday-Saturday, June 18-20) preceding the conference destined to young researchers (mostly graduate students) is intended to help them to get prepared for the conference.

Mathematical research on resonance oscillations in nonsmooth systems has seen a steady growth in attention lately, and due to recent progress a number of technically relevant open problems concerning resonances of nonsmooth mechanical and physical systems have become in reach of being resolved. The object of the meeting is to explore the current power and open problems of the theory of resonance oscillations and stability of nonsmooth systems (Lipschitz, discontinuous, impulsive) by bringing together different research groups working in the field as well as by organizing discussions with relevant industrial experts. The first part of the workshop (four days: 16-19 June) will be formal, with a full schedule of invited and contributed talks. In contrast, the 2nd part (four days: 22-25 June) will be more informal, with discussion sessions on specific problems aimed at developing new research collaborations.

The conference will be devoted to the interaction between various branches of Mathematical Analysis. The main themes will be Complex Dynamical Systems and Loewner Equations, Geometric Function Theory, Hyperbolic Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, Pseudodifferential Operators, Differential Geometry, General Relativity and Einstein Equations.

We intend to publish the Proceeding of the Conference in the AMS Contemporary Mathematics Series.

For additional information see the website http://www.math.byu.edu/info/rmdss.php

Aims and Topics
Keeping the tradition of the AIMS conference series, the conference covers all major areas of analysis and dynamics, with emphases on theory, methods, application, modeling and computations.

Format
There will be plenary talks; 30-minute special session talks; 20-minute contributed talks; and poster sessions.

This is the next in a series of triennial colloquia devoted to the mathematical legacy of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers. The core of this legacy concerns geometric function theory, quasiconformal mapping, Teichmuller theory and Kleinian groups, hyperbolic manifolds, and partial differential equations including Schram/Stochastic-Loewner-Evolution/Equations. In addition the work of Alhfors and Bers has had an impact on algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, dynamics, geometric group theory, number theory and topology.

We are organizing a 5 day conference "Dynamics and topology" to mark the event of Bob Devaney's 60th birthday.
The dates are April 21-25, 2008, and the location is Tossa de Mar, a seaside village near Barcelona (Spain). The conference is on complex dynamical systems and related topics in real dynamics and topology.

We have created a web page for the event at the address http://math.bu.edu/bobfest/
which contains information about the conference. If you are interested in attending, we encourage you to register as soon as possible (the lecture room has a limited capacity).

This school is intended for PhD students interested in Nonlinear Dynamics, Bifurcation Theory, Pattern Formation, and other applications where Symmetry is an important feature. The courses are directed at Nonlinear Dynamics graduate students of all levels, and have no non-standard prerequesites. Prior knowledge is not required, but there should be something interesting in the courses even for those students who already have a good background in the field. Research students and post-docs are warmly encouraged to attend.
The first four days of the School will comprise lectures covering a variety of topics in Bifurcation, Symmetry and Pattern Formation:

The themes of the workshop range from Hamiltonian PDE, Arnold diffusion, hyperbolic systems, limit laws and non-equilibrium stationary states to random dynamics, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and equilibrium statistical mechanics, to mention a few.
The goal is to favor interactions between different topics, yet each week will have a special focus. Planned minicourses by: Bernard, Kaloshin, Kuksin, Gouezel, Keller, Tsujii, Benettin, Sphon, Terracini, Gayrard, Martinelli, Olivieri, Toninelli.
Some financial support for young researchers is expected.

This consists of four one-week schools in different locations around the UK and on different topics in Dynamics. The general level of the schools is introductory to intermediate and in particular the schools are specifically aimed at graduate students and researchers who are not necessarily specialists in the topic of the school. The first school will take place at

Imperial College London, 19-23 November, on the topic of

Analysis and Applications of Partial Differential EquationsStochastic and Random Dynamics.

will be held at the Technical University of Graz (Austria) from July 9 to July 13, 2007. This summer school is supported by the Autrian Science Foundation (FWF) and is part of the National Research Network "Analytic Combinatorics and Probabilistic Number Theory".

The summer school is designed for PhD-students and young Post-Docs with some background in ergodic theory and number theory. We kindly ask you to distribute this announcement among young mathematicians that are interested in these topics.

In particular, the program provides four courses on recent developments in the interplay between dynamical systems and number theory:

Statistical mechanics has proven to be a very fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. The last years have witnessed the attempt by physicists to study phenomena which heavily rely on human behavior, like the dynamics of financial markets and the emergence of collective organization in social systems. Social interactions are usually local: every individual interacts with a limited number of its peers, which is negligible as compared with the total number of people inside a community. In spite of that, human societies are characterized by a number of stunning global regularities. There are remarkable transitions from disorder to order, like the emergence of a common language/culture or the creation of a consensus about a specific topic. The conference will specifically focus on three major research lines, i.e. opinion dynamics, cultural dynamics and the evolution of language.

Lecture series in the morning and intense working groups in the afternoon.

○ Participants

Postdocs and advanced graduate students working in geometry.

○ Application

The deadline for applications is April 30, 2007. Participants will be informed about the application
results in the first week of May 2006. Please apply using the on-line application form only. Financial

The conference will take place from Sunday 14th to Thursday 19th in the beautiful village of Erice in Sicily. In addition to the main track, an atelier directed by Luc Steels on "Modeling Language Evolution with Computational Construction Grammar" will take place on Saturday 13th. The conference is part of a series of events organized in Erice in the framework of the International school of Complexity. In this specific case it will also be a Satellite Meeting of the XXIII International Conference on Statistical Physics (STATPHYS) which will take place in Genoa on July 9-13 2007.

The CMI school will take place whithin the framework of a research trimester on dynamical systems and number theory at the De Giorgi Center. The trimester begins on Apr 16. Please refer to the De Giorgi Center for more information about the trimester (www.crm.sns.it).

Summer School Program Description

Designed for graduate students and mathematicians within five years of their Ph.D., the program is an introduction to the theory of flows on homogeneous spaces, moduli spaces and their many applications.

These flows give concrete examples of dynamical systems with highly interesting behavior and a rich and powerful theory. They are also a source of many interesting problems and conjectures. Furthermore, understanding the dynamics of such concrete system lends to numerous applications in number theory and geometry regarding equidistributions, diophantine approximations, rational billiards and automorphic forms.

The school will consist of three weeks of foundational courses and one week of mini-courses focusing on more advanced topics.

The primary goal of this trimester is to provide a state of the art description of the subject of interaction between dynamics and number theory accessible both to young mathematicians wishing to do research in this area and to professional mathematicians from both disciplines interested in learning some of the most recent developments in the field.

In the framework of the research programme, it will take place the Clay Research Summer School at the Centro di Ricerca Matematica "Ennio De Giorgi" (Pisa, Italy) June 11th to July 6th 2007

The Clay Mathematics Institute will conduct its annual summer school for 2007 at the De Giorgi Mathematics Research Center in Pisa, Italy, from June 11th to July 6th 2007. The topic is "Homogeneous flows, moduli spaces, and arithmetic." Designed for graduate students and mathematicians within five years of their Ph.D., the program is an introduction to the theory of flows on homogeneous spaces and moduli spaces. These flows define concrete dynamical systems whose complex and subtle behavior leads to a rich theory, many interesting problems and conjectures, and a wealth of applications to number theory and geometry, e.g., equidistribution, diophantine approximation, rational billiards, and automorphic forms.

The school will consist of three weeks of foundational courses and one week of mini-courses focusing on more advanced topics. During the first three weeks there will be three long courses, of 14 lectures each, by Alex Eskin and Dmitry Kleinbock, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz, Manfred Einsiedler and Elon Lindenstrauss.

To celebrate Yakov Pesin's 60th birthday, the Conference "Nonuniformly Hyperbolic Dynamics and Smooth Ergodic Theory" will be held in Lisbon in June 25-29, 2007. You are cordially invited to participate.

Topics will include the subjects of his landmark works and those on which he exerted the strongest influence (including nonuniform hyperbolicity, smooth ergodic theory, partial hyperbolicity, thermodynamic formalism, dimension theory in dynamics, and related subjects).

In addition to the purely mathematical talks, Anatole Katok will speak with some recollections on the Moscow mathematical school in the seventies, early stages of Yakov Pesin's mathematical career and early
impact of his work.

There will be a Conference in Complex Analysis and its Applications in honor of Gennadi Henkin. The conference will begin on June 17 (2007) in the morning and end on June 22 in the afternoon. All lectures will take place at the Institute Henri Poincare in Paris.

The conference will cover the main scientific interests of Gennadi Henkin: Complex Analysis and its applications to Radon Transforms and Mathematical Physics.

The notion of amenability is a natural generalization of finiteness or compactness. It was introduced in 1929 by J. von Neumann (following the work of Hausdorff, Banach and Tarski; in 1955 M. M. Dye first called it amenability). Amenable groups are those which admit an invariant mean (rather than an invariant probability measure, which is the case for finite or compact groups). This classical notion has been generalized in many directions and currently plays an important role in various areas, such as dynamical systems, von Neumann and C*-algebras, operator K-theory, geometric group theory, random walks, etc.

The semester will be centered around several interconnected research subjects at the crossroads of Analysis, Algebra, Geometry, Dynamics and Probability. More specifically, we are going to discuss the following topics:

○ groups of intermediate growth, non-elementary amenable groups;

○ self-similar groups and iterated monodromy groups of rational maps;

○ graphed equivalence relations and amenability; L2 cohomology;

○ amenable groupoids; topological amenability of boundary actions;

○ amenability at infinity; Baum--Connes and Novikov conjectures;

○ amenability and rigidity; bounded cohomology;

○ amenable algebras;

○ quasi-isometric classification of amenable groups, geometricity of various group properties;

○ Dixmier's conjecture on characterization of amenability in terms of unitarizable representations;

The Association for Women Mathematicians (AWM) is holding a workshop for women grad students and recent PhDs in conjunction with the SIAM applied dynamical systems meeting at the end of May 2007. The deadline for applications has been extended to January 15, 2007. Info on applying can be found at

This is a fantastic meeting for people working in dynamical systems and/or applied mathematics. (Seehttp://www.siam.org/meetings/ds07/ .) The AWM workshop will give women students and postdocs a chance to meet up with potential professional mentors and peers, and to showcase their research. Please pass this on to women students & postdocs who might benefit from this opportunity.

October 6-8, 2006
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, NYU
The aim of this workshop is to promote interdisciplinary discussion among researchers working in areas related to dynamics, chaos and their applications. New results will be presented. It is our intention that the talks be accessible to a wide audience.

Anomalous transport phenomena such as sub- and superdiffusion, non-Gaussian probability distributions, aging and dynamical localization form a rapidly growing research area within nonequilibrium statistical physics. Understanding these processes demands for establishing new cross-links between non-Markovian microscopic correlations and unusual statistical properties on macroscopic scales. This requires to combine methods from dynamical systems theory, stochastic processes and disordered systems. The seminar will provide a unique opportunity to learn about topics ranging from mathematical foundations of anomalous dynamics to the most recent experimental results in this field. It attempts to initiate new cross-disciplinary collaborations between scientists from the above research areas and to foster fruitful interactions between theorists and experimentalists working on anomalous transport.

Scientific key topics:

Applications: Experimental results for anomalous transport under nonequilibrium conditions such as anomalous dispersion in flows, transport in porous media, aging in glassy systems, anomalous diffusion of biological cells and in cell membranes, surface diffusion, anomalous distributions in granular media and in plasma physics

The conference will provide a unique international forum for the international community of mathematicians and scientists working in analysis, differential equations, dynamical systems, and their applications to real world problems in the forms of modeling and computation. The aim of this conference is to bring together the worldwide senior experts and young researchers as well to this beautiful city, Poitiers, to report recent achievements, exchange ideas, and address future trends of research, in a relaxing and stimulating environment. This is the first time ever for an AIMS conference to be held in the European continent.

Sponsors: American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) and University of Poitiers.

Topics: The conference covers all the major research areas in analysis, dynamics and applications including modeling and computations.

The conference "Views on ODEs" (VODE2006) will celebrate the 65th birthday of Professors Arrigo Cellina and James A. Yorke and aims to bring together those enrolled in research activities related with ordinary differential equations, differential inclusions and their applications.

Professor Michael Brin of the University of Maryland has endowed an international prize for outstanding work in the theory of dynamical systems and related areas. The prize will be given for specific mathematical achievements that appear as a single or a series of publications in refereed journals, proceedings or monographs.

The goal of the prize is to recognize mathematicians who have made substantial impact in the field at an early stage of their careers. Normally the recipients should be no more than twelve years from Ph.D.

The prize includes an award of $15000. Expenses for the recipient's trip to the award ceremony will also be covered from the prize endowment fund.

The prize will be awarded biennially by an international committee of experts. The inaugural committee includes the following members:

Nominations for the prize will be made by committee members. The committee will seek informal input from the mathematical community concerning potential candidates for the prize.

The first prize will be awarded in March 2008 at the Spring 2008 Maryland meeting of the semi-annual Workshop in Dynamical Systems and related topics dedicated to Professor Brin sixtieth birthday.

Subsequent prizes will be awarded in the fall of each odd year starting form 2009. The venue for presentation of those awards has been fixed as the Fall Penn State meeting of the semi-annual Workshop in Dynamical Systems and related topics but it may change in the future. Award ceremony will include a one-hour lecture about the winner's work by a leading expert in the area. This lecture will be later published in Journal of Modern Dynamics.
